Job Status:
Full Time

Clearance: TS/SCI

Salary: $110,000-$130,000

Systems Engineering Group, Inc. (SEG), a wholly owned subsidiary of Astrion, is seeking a Missile Design and All‑Source Flight Analysis Engineer with an understanding of 3‑D solid modeling and a TS/SCI clearance to conduct advanced missile all‑source analyses and reverse engineering, leading to the development of official Threat Baseline Assessments and 3‑D CAD models of foreign missile designs. This effort will primarily be conducted onsite at the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), one of the nation’s premier scientific and technical intelligence centers.

• Viable candidate should have a minimum existing SECRET level clearance and a strong candidate for a TS/SCI level clearance or TS/SCI preferred.
• BS/MS/PhD in Mechanical/Aerospace engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• Mid‑Level (6‑10 years with a BS, 4‑6 with an MS, 2‑4 with a PhD) missile design, flight performance, navigation, guidance, and control and/or missile propulsion system design experience.
• 3‑D modeling experience with Solid Works is preferred. Experience with Pro‑E/CREO and NX is desirable.
• Experience with component‑level design from detail level through complete complex assemblies.
• Able to identify, select and integrate a wide range of materials into designs.
• Hands‑on experience using finite element analysis for system/component design.
• Demonstrated ability to communicate well through written documentation and oral presentations.
• Ability to work independently or on a team.
• Ability to create, follow and adjust a design plan for the creation of level 1 & 2 CAD models from initial assignment to completed documentation.
• Ability to collaborate with technical experts and subject‑matter experts in an efficient and effective manner.
• Understanding of the scientific and technical intelligence community trade‑craft and ICDs is highly preferred.

• Providing all‑source research, technical engineering analysis, and production and dissemination of both short‑ and long‑term naval technical analysis information support.
• Conducting and supporting tasks that require IC and national intelligence coordination, including support to working groups, fleet entities, and Navy acquisition customers through informal knowledge sharing, and directly supporting the management and development of Intelligence Mission Data (IMD).
• Developing and using cutting‑edge tools and techniques to meet the growing demands of missile defense system requirement specifications, design activities, and test/verification.
• Analyzing all‑source intelligence information to synthesize foreign missile designs that characterize the flight performance, concept of operations, RF, and IR signatures of key naval‑launched surface‑to‑air missiles, anti‑ship cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, anti‑ship ballistic missiles, hypersonic cruise missiles, and glide vehicles.
• Developing tools for performance analysis and visualization, as well as analysis of electronic warfare.
• Developing technical assessments and briefs using all‑source information in accordance with ONI and ODNI Analytical Trade‑craft Policy, ODNI Writing Guide, ONI production standards and other documented guidance.
• For specified high‑interest naval missile systems, performing detailed analyses of the missile performance for foreign naval missiles. This includes:
• Preparing pseudo code to emulate algorithms in software to provide dynamic, interactive representation of the system.
• Performing verification and validation testing of pseudo code and documenting all results.
• Developing and executing stochastic analysis to fully capture uncertainty in the analysis, design, and intelligence.
• Assisting ONI with Acquisitions Threat Evaluation Products (ATEPs) to include production, design, verification, and validation (V&V), reporting, testing, and meeting attendance.
• Assisting ONI in writing and updating foreign missile Technical Baseline Assessments (TBAs) following the appropriate TAC‑31 trade‑craft.
• Using all‑source intelligence information to develop 3‑D solid models of…
